Scheduling jobs that are in IBM Workload Scheduler

About this task

IBM Z Workload Scheduler also allows you to access job streams (schedules in IBM Workload Scheduler) and add them to the current plan in IBM Z Workload Scheduler. In addition, you can build dependencies among IBM Z Workload Scheduler job streams and IBM Workload Scheduler jobs. From IBM Z Workload Scheduler, you can monitor and control the distributed agent.

Using fault-tolerant workstations: In the IBM Z Workload Scheduler current plan, you can specify jobs to run on fault-tolerant agents in IBM Workload Scheduler. IBM Z Workload Scheduler passes the job information to the IBM Workload Scheduler Symphony™ file, which in turn passes the jobs in the current plan to IBM Workload Scheduler to distribute and process. In turn, IBM Workload Scheduler reports the status of running and completed jobs back to the current plan for monitoring in IBM Z Workload Scheduler.
Using z-centric workstations: z-centric workstations are agents that are installed in a IBM Workload Scheduler network and that can be connected to IBM Z Workload Scheduler by HTTP or HTTPS. They provide the means to schedule from IBM Z Workload Scheduler jobs that need to run on distributed platforms (UNIX™, Linux™, Windows™). They are equivalent to computer automatic workstations in IBM Z Workload Scheduler and require less configuration and a smaller supporting infrastructure than fault-tolerant workstations.
